Yoshi Dog Is 1

Yoshi Sleeping Featured

I can't believe that Yoshi already had her first birthday. We brought her home last September when she was only 8 weeks old so we figured out her birthday was around July 28th. It won't be long before we've had her for a year. I can hardly believe it and it's amazing how much she's changed and grown. Here's a photo from the pet shelter the day we bought her: Here's a couple recent photos. Can you believe it's even the same dog? The shelter said she was a hound mix and it didn't even ... continue reading...

Why You Should Wear A Smartwatch

Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch - Should You Wear a Smartwatch?

I am a techy nerd and love keeping up with new technology and having an opportunity to keep up with the times!  Samsung Gear 2 Smartwatch received. That's why I'm excited about Samsung’s latest smartwatch to share our honest opinions. Wearing the Samsung Gear 2 took a little getting used to, but I quickly began to learn about it and really enjoy some of the benefits a smartwatch provides. One of the things I try to limit, but I know that I do a terrible job of, is looking at my phone. I ... continue reading...

How Tiggly Helps Toddlers Develop Spatial Reasoning, Motor Skills, Creativity & More

Tiggly Featured 2

When Kora & Logan were little and Dave would sit with them, one of them would inevitably grab his phone and start tapping the screen. Eventually that turned into touching, swiping, and using all the touchscreen features. We were always amazed at how quickly they picked it up and how intuitive touchscreen technology is. This post is sponsored by Tiggly and Tiggly Shapes received. This encouraged us to start checking into educational apps and tablet toys for kids. We've enjoyed playing ... continue reading...

Battling Dog Hair With The New Black & Decker Lithium Charged Handheld Vacuum

Black & Decker Lithium Handheld Featured

Can you believe Yoshi is a year old? We got her when she was 8 weeks old and the shelter estimated her birthday around July 28th. Here's what she looked like when we brought her home: Black & Decker Handheld Flex Vacuum received. Here's a photo I took recently: Can you believe how much she's changed and how different she looks? Amazing! She just keeps growing! We didn't know how big she was going to be and honestly never thought she would be as big as she has already grown. ... continue reading...

2 Young Kids, 1 Very Large Puppy Vs. Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner

Rug Doctor Featured

I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Rug Doctor. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating. This post may contain affiliate links. With a 7- and 8-year old and a very large puppy who just turned a year old, our poor carpets have seen better days. We have carpet in our living and rec room and on our stairs. The kids and the dog run through the house and I'll find muddy tracks in various places. That's why I was excited to ... continue reading...

Top 10 Educational Apps For Kids

Top 10 Educational Apps For Kids Featured

As a tech blogger, I have tried out hundreds of apps and many of those have been for kids. Kora & Logan both have tablets and while we regulate how much time they spend playing on them, when they do I make sure to keep them full of educational apps. There are an amazing number of fun apps out there for kids that have very high educational value. This post is sponsored by The Learning Care Group. I'm happy to let them play with these apps and feel good knowing they are learning ... continue reading...

ZCan+ Scanner Mouse Review & Giveaway

Zcan+ Scanner Mouse Featured

Like many kids Kora & Logan love to draw and color. They will spend lots of time on one drawing, using their imaginations and even telling a story to go along with it. Dave and I love to see all this artwork and it makes us happy that they enjoy it so much. Their grandparents often want to see their drawings as well. ZCan+ Scanner Mouse received and one provided for giveaway. This is a bit of a problem for my parents because they live in Michigan while we are here in Ohio. I've always ... continue reading...

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
